And this was majorly was due to the bodies of vascular plants (that also appear on the earth's landscape around that time) decompose with difficulty, making it easier for organic carbon to be buried in sediments. When that happens, the organic carbon -- produced by photosynthesis -- is not available for reaction with oxygen. The consequence is a rise in the amount of oxygen in the environment. The vascular plants led to more carbon burial, and therefore to more oxygen. Then, the rise in oxygen made it possible for larger animals to evolve.
